House, as one of the Folsom heirs. A
momentary pause was made at the
High School, the most commanding
emInence of the neighborhood, to view
at one glance the city and the long
sweep of the Missouri: thence the
cortege drove through the residence
streets of the town and back to the
station.
KANSAS CITY, October 12.-The Presi-
dents Omaha entertainers seemed I'M
willing. to let him go, and the train was
fully three-guarters of an hour behind
time when it got away. AT Plattsmouth,
Hamburg and other places the people
were out in force, and though the train
did not stop, displayed their enthusi-
asm very effectively. In the outskirts OF
st Joseph, Congressman Burns and
Mr.. Hartwick, president of the Boa d
of Trade, boarded the train and be-
sought the President to make a longer
stay than the allotted half hour. This
he refused to do.
Artillery, church bells and steam
whistles heralded the arrival at the st.
Joe depot. The town was damned
with natives and strangers. The Mayor
and reception committee received the
President and escorted him to a car
rage. Thesproeessiop then started up
town. A stop was made for a
moment at the Central Square,
where the pupils of the Convent
of the Sacred Heart, handed the Presi
dent beautiful floral flag, while those
of the public school gave Mrs. Cleveland
costly silver basket filed with roses.

and the crowd was, for the most part,
orderly, except on the return 10 the
depot, when the rush caused by the
frantic attempt of thousands of people
to get into close quar- ;ers with the Pres
ident, made it work of pain and
danger for his fellow excursionis.s to
make their way to the train, to which
the committee and police rendered but
little aid.
Among the souvenirs of her st. Joseph
visit, which Mrs. Cleveland brought
away, was one found in her car after
the train had left. 1t was an elegant
memorial satchel, on which was printed,
"To Mrs. Francis Folsom Cleveland: ST.
Elizabeth's Society greetS you with
salutation of benediction on
this October 18th, 1887" Fol-
lowing 2 this was a legend stating
that the donors deemeda it not map
propriate on this occasion to point to
parellelism of the circumstances of Mrs.
CleVeland's present state, with that of
that society patron, Elizabeth, Queen of
Hungary, which made that queen the
prototype of society; called in the first
flower of her youth and beauty to pre-
side oyer a nation, she was dis
tinguished even beyond her queenliness

1t closed with an expression OF hope
that Mrs. CIeveland's life, like that of
Queen Elizabeth, might be halo of
virtue and holiness, and that her bright
example might live forever.
The train arrived at Kansas City on
time at SIS. at the depot and for
blocks around, an immense throng had
gathered, and roar of cheers went up
as the train came to stop and the
party emerged. The procession quickly
made its way to the Coates House,
where the guests retired for brief rest.
The police arrangements in the streets
were admirable and the thropg was
kept well back from the carriage. The
trades display this evening marched
past the hotel soon after the arrival of
the party.
KANSAS CITY, October 12.- Shortly
after 9 o'clock the President and vile
appeared in the parlors and for an hour
| RECEIVED members OF the reception
committee and their friends. After
they had retired to their rooms the
cheers of the crowd in the street caused
them to appear on the balcony for a
moment. What might have been a
very serious accident, occurred just
after the party reached the hote'.
AT Ninth and Broadway two cable
trains were standing close to each
other. The cable had broken during
the day and the strands had been
wrapped with wire. The grip of the
second train became entangled in the
threads, and starting up crowded into
the first train. The Presidents car
riage was twenty feet beyond the track
when this happened, else his safety and
that of his wife would have peen i'm
perilled. OF the injured, H. G. Guarding
will lose both legs; James Johnson
(colored), the lower portion of his right
leg; Private Wilson, OF the Independent
Guard, had his head badly cut, and F.
w. Illgen suffered severe bruises. 1t is
thought that if any others were in
jured they were not seriously hurt.
